The Secret of Russia Iron Making.

PITTsBURa, June 10.-lSpecial Telegram
to the BEE. Initial steps were taken yes
terday for constructing Russia iron mill at
FreepOrt, about thirty miles north of this
city. Farley Alden, member of the firm of
w. ii. Rogers L. Co., who will build the iron
works said: This will be the first Russia
iron mill ever built outside of Siberia. An
imitation OF Russia iron has been made in
this country for some time, but not impervi
Gus to rust. lmperviOusneSs to rust is the
test of genuine Russia iron. Few persons
imagine what risk was run in learning the
secret of the treatment by which Russia iron
is made. There are only three people outside
of Russia to-day who know this secret. They
are William Rogers, w. ii. Rogers, his son,
and Mr., Nicholas, nephew of William Rogers.
About eighteen years ago William Rogers
was sent out as Pennsylvania state
geolOgist to Russia. lie had credentials
addressed to Ex-Governor Curtin, minister at
st. Petersburg at that time. AS long as he
confined his explorations to the mines he at
tracted little or no suspicion, but as soon as
he set his foot inside the iron mills
of Princess Demdoff he was subjected to
the most violent espionage. 1t must be re-
membered that the men I'm tbs mills who
know the secret of making Russia iron are
never allowed to quit the mills. With the
special study he had made of iron making be-
fore going to Russia, he was not long In dis
cerning the much coveted secret, though he
had much trouble to eyade suspicion. Had
he been detected he would have been forced
to remain in Siberia the rest of his life."
